Sustainability is becoming more and more important as a decision attribute in the manufacturing environment. However, quantitative metrics for all the aspects of the triple bottom line are difficult to assess. Within the ...

Fire suppression is an important safety certification requirement for aircraft as it is for all safety critical systems. Risk analyses are required at the design and certification stages to determine the probabilities and ...

The area of single point diamond turning of brittle materials like semiconductors and ceramics is significantly benefitted by incorporation of laser assistance. In a new developmental technology that is now recognized as ...

This paper investigates the quality performance of FDM 3D printed models with thin walls. The design of experiments method (DOE) was used and nine models of the same size were fabricated in a low-cost 3D printer using ...

To efficiently restore electricity customers from a large-scale blackout, this paper proposes a novel mixed-integer linear programing (MILP) model for the optimal disaster recovery of power distribution systems. In the ...

Turbocharged diesel engines are extensively used in marine vessels, both as propulsion engines and as generator sets. The engine’s operation in the hostile marine environment results in performance degradation having a ...

Proposed is the facilitation of fault-tolerant capability in autonomous systems with particular consideration of low computational complexity and system interface devices (sensor/actuator) performance. Traditionally ...

Typically, the evaluation of nacelle drag in preliminary design is required to find an overall optimum engine cycle and flight trajectory. This work focuses on the drag characteristics of aero-engine nacelles with separate ...

Friction stir spot welding (FSSW) process is widely used in the automobile industry for a range of applications such as battery components, standard wire connectors and terminals. This manuscript addresses two grand ...

The selection of the most appropriate casting gating system design is one of the most critical decision-making tasks in foundries as it is closely associated to the amount of air inclusions and surface defect concentration, ...

The evolution of agriculture towards intensive farming leads to an increasing demand for animal identification associated with high traceability, driven by the need for quality control and welfare management in agricultural ...

The depletion of fossil fuel resources, as well as the increasing environmental concerns have become the driving forces towards the research and development necessary for the introduction of alternative fuel such as hydrogen ...

Being free from carbon content, hydrogen has been considered as a promising candidate to reduce pollutant emissions in Gas Turbine Combustion Systems. Due to hydrogen’s significantly different burning characteristics, its ...

Hydrogen has been proposed as an alternative fuel to meet long term emissions and sustainability targets, however due to the characteristics of hydrogen significant modifications to the combustion system are required. The ...

A low-level jet (LLJ) event observed during a frontal passage in the 2001 Coupled Boundary Layers and Air–Sea Transfer Experiment in Low Winds campaign was simulated using the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF). ...

We study the post-encounter evolution of fictitious small bodies belonging to the so-called Line of Variations (LoV) in the framework of the analytic theory of close encounters. We show the consequences of the encounter ...

Although a significant body of literature has been devoted to establish metrics capable of measuring the performance of manufacturing systems (including foundries) and their influence on decision-making, there is a scarcity ...

We performed nanomachining combined with photoluminescence spectroscopy to understand the depth distribution of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers formed by low energy nitrogen ion irradiation of the diamond surface. NV− and ...

Aerospace manufacturing industry is predicted to continue growing. Rising demand is triggering the current global aerospace ecosystem to evolve and adapt to challenges never faced before. New players into the aerospace ...
